National carrier Air India has reduced the one way fare to Kathmandu from Delhi, Kolkata and Varanasi from Rs 14,000 to Rs 4,700 inclusive of all taxes, a company release said here tonight.

The airline will also carry relief material free of charge on priority basis, on its flights to Kathmandu from Delhi and Kolkata, the release said.
